Let's Start 2006 off right - Ride, Monday, Jan 2nd

[Richard_]

How about starting 2006 off with a bang? Let's ride on Monday, Jan
2nd. I suggest a backroads ride (with one dirt road and small water
crossing thrown in for good measure) looping southwest from Austin,
lunch in Blanco or Johnson City, and then back to Austin. Meet at 9:30
a.m. in the Albertson's parking lot at the "Y" in Oak Hill (the address is 7100 Hwy 290 West, Austin), stands up at 9:45 a.m. I figure 200 miles or so and about a 6 hour round trip time including lunch.

Who's in?

Yay! :flip:

:-( Let's see what work does for that one. I have a feeling it's a full staff day. If not, I'm SO there!

bobcat,

You might even get another avatar out of this ride. :-)


squeaky,

I promise it will all be worth it. If it is a full staff day, you might have to use your first sick day of 2006. ;-)

Bumpity bump :rider:

bobcat,

Thanks for the bump.

As of now, there are 5 that have said they are riding (including you). I still have Squeaky listed as a maybe.

[Squeaky]

No, I'm out. Sorry.
Have I mentioned lately how much I hate my job... :huh2:

[Richard_]

Sorry you won't be able to make it. Another day then.

Richard.....Sounds like a great way to spend the first Monday of the year.....My son Joel is still visiting from Canada so we'll do a little bike prep this afternoon and both of us will meet you guys in the morning.....

Steve,

Excellent. I look forward to meeting both of you.

[bobcat]

Richard, I probably won't be going after all, it's down to about a 25% chance that I can make it. :-( Have a fun and safe time if I don't meet you at Albertson's.

Claire,

If you can't make it, maybe your bike can. Just bring it by the Albertson's and I'll ride it for you. :trust:

Just kidding, of course.

If you don't make it tomorrow there will be other opportunities.
